Well at first Nirbhay is no different from Tomahawk,DRDO should have developed Nirbhay in early 90's itself so as usual DRDO is late in business at least have DRDO designed a advanced stealth shaped cruise missile like AGM-129 ACM & if the test had been a failure it would have been appreciable.

Here DRDO is not able to successfully test a subsonic cruise missile itself.Shame even Paks have a cruise missile.
